Downtown Burbank Fine Arts Festival

FREE to the public, APRIL 16 and APRIL 17, the Downtown Burbank Arts Festival gives people of all ages a chance to see up-close and personal some of the best artists in the world. Designed to bring in professional artists - as well as aspiring artists from Burbank schools - in order to support arts education, the festival showcases painting, photography, woodwork, sculpting, jewelry, ceramics, street painting, and other types of art that you've never even imagined.

Filling four blocks of San Fernando Boulevard between Angeleno Avenue and Magnolia Boulevard, the Downtown Burbank Art Festival is free, open to the public, and is unparalleled in giving the public a chance to personally interact with world famous artists - and get some inspiration of your own to create your own masterpiece some day.

The two-day event adheres to a schedule, which enables you to plan your experience around various speakers, exhibits, or types of art in which you're interested. And the outdoor environment gives you a chance to take a break once in a while, get a snack and some new energy, and jump back in.

In addition to the "street artists," The Creative Talent Network will present the CTN Road Trip, an event devoted to animation and visual EFX artists from feature films, video games and television, offering patrons a rare opportunity to purchase artwork and interact with the artists, whose contributions are found among the highest grossing animation films of all time.

Downtown Burbank Arts Festival, in partnership with West Coast Artists, donates proceeds from the event to student programs for the Burbank Arts Education Foundation.
